本研究结果表明，香港与长沙的青少年在对钦佩人物的选择上存在着明显的差异。概括起来，香港的青少年更喜欢理想-浪漫-绝对型名人，这些人突出表现为歌星、影星和体育明星；而长沙的青少年更喜欢现实-理性-相对型名人，这些人突出表现为著名政治家和文学家。在怎样看待所提名钦佩人物时，两地的青少年多将演艺界、体育界和政治界的名人当偶像看，而将自己的家人和朋友师长当榜样看。此外，港的青少年选择亲朋好友作为自己最钦佩人物的倾向要高於长沙的青少年，长沙的青少年则选择政治名人作为自己最钦佩人物。此次研究再次证明，偶像和榜样是两个不同的概念。根据上述结果，本文提出，当今青少年崇拜的主流是对歌星、影星和体育明星的“三星崇拜”，这与当今社会的商业化炒作有密切关系。本文还提出，在看待青少年偶像崇拜行为时，应区分遥亲感和即亲感两个概念。其中对遥亲感的满足可谓青少年偶像崇拜的主要目标和精神需求之所在。 The present study asked 258 high school students in Hong Kong and Changsha to nominate three most admired people in their lives and rate them on degrees to which they could become their idols and models. Hong Kong students mostly nominated celebrities in entertainment and sports industries while Changsha students mostly nominated celebrities in politics. Hong Kong students were more inclined than Changsha students to nominate family members, friends and teachers to be their most admired people. A clear distinction was also noted between idols and models. Based on the above results, the authors argued that "tri-star idol worship" constituted the mainstream of idol worship for young people nowadays and that a distinction could be made between remote intimacy and immediate intimacy in understanding adolescent idol worship.

This paper examines the conceptual differences between an idol and a model among a sample of young people in China. A questionnaire was specifically designed to measure young people’s criteria for idol worship and model learning using three pairs of contrasting constructs: idealism versus realism, romanticism versus rationalism, absolutism versus relativism. The questionnaire also asks each respondent to nominate up to three favourite idols and models in life. Atotal of 826 high school students and university students in Hong Kong and Nanjing completed the questionnaire. The results provide convergent support for the hypothesised conceptual differences between an idol and a model. Idealism, romanticism, and absolutism were more important in idol selection whereas realism, rationalism, and relativism were more important in model selection. Hong Kong young people selected significantly more idealism-romanticism-absolutism oriented celebrities whereas Nanjing young people selected significantly more realism-rationalism-relativism oriented celebrities.

Australian Education

In the Australian education system, there are substantial class inequalities in educational outcomes and transitions. These inequalities persist despite increased choice and individual opportunity for young people. This article explores high school students’ experiences of class in a social context they largely believe to be a meritocracy. Specifically, it asks: how does class shape young people’s thinking and decision-making about their post-school futures? I use Bourdieu’s ‘habitus’ as a frame to understand the role of class in young people’s lives, stressing its generative and heterogeneous aspects. Drawing on qualitative-led mixed methods research, this article argues that young people have internalised the ‘doxa’ of meritocracy, agency and ambition, conceiving of themselves as individual agents in this context. However, risk and security, opportunities and constraints, are not distributed equally in a class-stratified society. Young people from working-class backgrounds more commonly imagine insecure, uncertain futures.

Selection Of

The likelihood that learned skills will be maintained in natural performance settings may be affected by the number of opportunities to perform the skills following acquisition. To examine this hypothesis, 17 high school students with moderate to severe mental retardation were selected from three public school classrooms. Each student had learned one adaptive skill that he or she had performed at least twice per month without additional training for 5 months prior to this study (high opportunity). Each student had also learned one adaptive skill that he or she had not performed more often than once per month over the 5 months immediately preceding the study (low opportunity). Performance of both behaviors was probed under conditions as similar as possible to those experienced during training. Twelve of the 17 high opportunity skills were performed successfully while only 4 of the 17 low opportunity skills were completed. A sign test indicated these differences to be statistically significant. Implications of the results for selection of IEP goals and the inclusion of “opportunity” objectives are discussed.

This is a study of high school students’ attitudes toward the English language in Lebanon. The purpose of this research is to assess the extent of use of English inside and outside the schools taking into consideration the attitude towards the language. Two schools were selected, one upper middle class and one lower middle class. This selection of different social classes aims at finding whether a student’s socio- economical background affects his/ her attitude toward the English language. The sample of respondents returned 52 questionnaires from the two schools. Although this sample was a modest one, it highlighted the differences in attitudes towards the English language, but these attitudes did not relate much to the socioeconomic class as much as personal preferences. However, what was salient in this research is how students from the lower middle class were more inclined to use English to raise their social status and both groups agreed that English is essential to their progress in life.
